Today was Global School Play Day. This day was inspired by Peter Gray who states that today’s kids do not grow up playing enough. He believes that not enough time playing can have a negative impact on kids. To help rectify this, the 3H Crew brought in a variety of things to play with for our “play time” this afternoon. The only rule was that there were no screens or batteries allowed.

As you can see there was a lot of activity in our classroom!
